g^necilotei of Victoria. XL nd Albert. A London correspondent relates some interesting anecdotes of the Queen of England and the late Prince Consort: The Queen and Prince Consort were in the habit of taking long walks, unattended, and dressed only as an ordinary lady and gentleman. On one occasion, at some distance from home, they were caught in a shower, and took shelter under a tree by the side of a road. An old postman, go? ing his daily rounds, was passing by and saw only a lady and gentleman in an unconifortrtble position. He had with him un old umbrella that had done duty for many years, which, with a native but rough po? liteness, he proffered to the gentle? man, saving he would call for it on his rounds if they would tell him where they were stopping. Prince Albert frankly accepted the umbrella, and mentioned Osborne house. The postman even then did not suspect the rank of his wayside friends, and passed on about his business. A day or two afterwards, it being in his way, he...

COLUMBIA. Wednesday Morning, Nov. 15,1885. The Fktnlmrn, CoIon< 1 O. Browu, for the Freedmen's Burean, has issued an admirable circular, embracing instructions to the agents of the Bureau in Nerti? Carolina. After calling thc attention of the agunts to their neglect of duty in not requiring the freedmen to make contracts for their services with the farmers and planters, he states that tho principal feature of this Bureau is not to "supply any channel through which the Government aid or private charity shall be dispensed, but to make thc freedmen a solf-supporting class of free labor, who shall understand the necessity of steady employment, and the responsibility of pro riding for themselves and families. Where employment is offered on terms thai, will provide for the comfortable subsistence of the Laborers, removing them from the vices or idleness and from dependence on chari? ty, they should be treated as vagrants if they do not accept it: and thc rules nf thc Bureau applicable ...

When the sun-set fires arc gloaming O'er the tops of distant hills, And the yellow rays are streaming On the merry mountain rills, Earth is beautiful!

In the misty Indian Summer, When th?; harvest days are o'er, Win n the ...

Foreign. Items. We append a few itouis of interest from thc foreign news brought by late arrivals: X?W STEAMSHIP LIN f.. The progressive increase of steamships for passengers and freight between Liver? pool and N cw York is remarkable. It is not a very long time since this business was exclusively conducted by sailing pack? ets, which were doubtless the finest of their kind, and objects of interest to everv one visiting the Liverpool and London docks. Their average passages then were about twenty-four days from thc United States, and thirty-two days Westward, but fre? quently much longer in winter. By steam, thc vovagc is now reduced to considerably less than half, which, as with railways against coaches, has greatly inercasod the traffic. Wc arc now informed that another weekly line of large steamships have some time ago been contracted for by Messrs. Guion & Co., of Liverpool, to sail between that port and New Y'ork. The new vessels will commence early next year, and until the...

_ Grant ?? H!?oirnAchievcmcst*. In Washington, I hail the privilege of an introduction to General Grant. The eminent man was in Iiis official department, much the sort of room in which a London attorney might lie imagined giving audience to his cli? ents. The General was not in uni? form, and plainly dressed. The por? traits of him are faithful representa? tions of his square and spacious fore? head, and of the settled and regular, but not strongly marked features be? low. A military officer was in attend? ance upon him, who was of old Indian descent-a person somewhat above the ordinary height, whose com? plexion and features bespoke his orign, but whose civilized experiences had given bim a little more flesh than would seem to have been common among his ancestors. This stately descendant from the sons of tlie old Wilderness gave me a cordial grasp of the hand on being introduced. The manner of the Gene? ral was simple and quiet. I soon saw he was a man of few words, and had reason ...

The Committee approve the proposition from the House to allow the ?g?jat of salo discretion to extend a limited credit on such oortions of the property as. cannot bc disposed of advantageously for cash, with instruc? tions that in case the sale of any portion of thc property embracing real estate and fixtures appertaining to it is made on credit. Titles shall_ not be delivered till tho purchase money is paid. And the right to re-sell shall be reserved in case the terms are not complied with. Sales for cash should bc effected to as great extent as possible, not involving serious sacrifices of value. The Committee are of opinion that the Commissioners named in the Senato resolution should bo appointed. They reside near the place where the property is situated, can exercise a proper supervision and care over it, and effect sales with the least practical expense and delay. Thc Committee therefore rec...

And one by one past visions throng Like bidden spectres start While dear old memories, hushed too long, Are whispering in my heart; And time and distance--years forgot, I stand once more a child A happy child, upon thc spot Where life first o*er me smiled; And every sceno that childhood loved Is smiling o'er my view, And every spot where childhood roved Is bright before mo, too. Like ola familiar friends, the trees Thc velvet sod beneath Thc deep green shade of clustering leaves, Fanned by the summer's breath; And "mid the trees, their green arms spread, Thc old house scorns to sleep, Calm as the mermaids' coral bed "...

COLUMBIA. Friday Memin0, 3?o"T. 17, 1S55. A History of the IVar. A correspondent of one of the New York papers states that Gen. Robert E. Lee has arranged with C. B. Richardson, of that city, for the publication of his "History of thc Rebellion." Thc book is now in pro? cess of preparation, and it will probably be completed in the course of several months. Thc articles of agreement between the par? ties are said to contain a stipulation to the effect that no alteration shall bc made by the publisher after the manuscript gets into bis bands, but that it is to ho publish? ed as written. It is also needless to say that such a work by such an author would be sought after with avidity by all Ameri? can as well as European readers. The Richmond Whig, in noticing this an? nouncement, says: "We are inclined to think that the writer is not strictly accurate in his statement. Wc were informed, sonic months ago, by a gentleman who had means of information, that Gen. Lee had been visited by a N...

There is still no official news concerning the ministerial arrangements. Clarendon will certainly he Minister of Foreign Affairs. Tho Globe claims forbearance for the re? constructed ministry until it is enabled to lay before Parliament a programme, upon the satisfactory character of which its ex? istence will depend.
